Our employees were able to make calls with 3CX immediately after the changeover

Since the ISDN network was switched off, the Basel-Stadt Protestant Reformed Church Administration has been using the 3CX virtual telephone system with peoplefone as its VoIP provider. The church administrator responsible, Alexander Kohler, was convinced by this solution from day one and still has nothing but positive things to say five years later.

«With the cloud system from 3CX, we no longer need a maintenance contract and were able to achieve further cost savings thanks to the massively cheaper telephony rates from peoplefone.» He also praises the VoIP provider's emergency number back-up and the excellent crisis support: «In one of the rare telephone outages, we were informed immediately by peoplefone via email and website, so that the problem could be resolved within 20-30 minutes.»

More efficiency thanks to peoplefone 3CX HOSTED

A 3CX telephone system has been in operation at the Quellenhof Foundation for many years. The Swiss aid organisation's system is now hosted by peoplefone. "This saves us a lot of effort and is cheaper than if we had to provide internal resources for this," says Jonathan Heimlicher, Head of Digitalisation and IT.

For the foundation, which is committed to helping addicts and mentally impaired people, it is indispensable that the emergency organisation is guaranteed around the clock via the telephone. IT Manager Heimlicher is therefore pleased that the new system has been running absolutely stable since the changeover in June.

On air and on the road with peoplefone HOSTED

Nadine Beer from the executive board draws an all-round positive conclusion: «We are all very satisfied with the new solution. I personally find it helpful to see at a glance who is available and who is absent.»

Flexible, easily configurable and efficient - peoplefone and 3CX are convincing

The Volketswil municipal administration was looking for a suitable VoIP solution for its telephony. The new system should be flexible and easy to configure, increase efficiency in absence planning and also be as cost-effective as possible.

Better reachability thanks to the integration of landline telephony in Microsoft Teams

After 15 years of telephony with an aging telephone system, the Gewerbliche Berufsschule Wetzikon (Wetzikon Vocational School) needed a new solution before the move in summer 2022. Since the teaching staff and employees were already working with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, integrating the fixed network telephony was an obvious choice.

Edgar Schlumpf, Head of IT, welcomed this decision: "The integration of the fixed network telephony in Microsoft Teams made it easier for us to move the school last summer." The advantages are obvious: "It is now much easier to reach our staff at the various workstations in different school buildings or even in the home office."
